Spicoli Lied
Firefox comes with features that are standard, but most of these features are light and very easy to control.

Download Manager?
Live Bookmarks?
Tabbed Browsing?
Pop-Up Blocker?
Image Controls?
Auto Update?

But then you add in your various plug-ins and themes and you get a browser that is both light and powerful.

If you have small amounts of memory and loads of Processor, Firefox is even more for you. I have loaded several tabs in Firefox vs the same webpages in IE. IE used less processor but more memory. I wonder how this would fair if Firefox was intregated into the kernel.

MS doesn't make any money from IE  John L. Ries | 03/17/05
